"Hi!" Talking, in elvish and common tongue. Every elvish word in here is from a site so do not know much, so correct me if I am wrong!
'What?' thinking, or telepathic conversation (only between elves very connected to another, like twins.)

Well! Here is the next Chapter to The White Rose. Enjoy!

Chapter 7: To Miss
It had begun raining just before dawn. With the winds, the rain seemed to come in all directions, drenching all it came in contact with. Thunder cracked frequently, blocking out the steady pounding of the rain onto the forest and its vegetation.
His hand grasped empty air. He tried again, and when he touched nothing he realized his quiver was empty. Before that thought was complete he had already replaced his bow, and had drawn his twin elven blades. An orc nearby grunted taking up the challenge. Raising his rusted Scimitar, which was dripping red with elven blood, he charged at the prince. Legolas did not react to the orc, for he had already returned to the void, cleanly slicing the orcs' raised arm off. The distorted head so rested still next to the arm, as the body slumped to the mud. Legolas turned spotting another orc and began the dance again.
Since Legolas, Lysander, Alione, and the rest of the hunting party joined the fight to drive the orc band back to their caves, they had helped destroy a third of the orc forces. Within a few hours casualties were added to each side. The only sound that comforted the elven warriors was the screeching sound of the Black tongue from the dying orcs. Soon however, an elven cry joined the dying orcs curses, making all warriors shudder. With the clearing now empty, except from the scattered bodies of both sides, Legolas, Mifel, and Lysander regrouped and ran to the aid the next group of warriors. Pausing only to collect fallen arrows, and sheathe their swords.
Cold, large drops of rain mixed with his own blood, dripped down his face, into his eyes, causing Legolas to squint and to shake his head. With his vision cleared, he calmly grabbed a branch and swung himself into the tree. Concentrating on his balance because the rain, had made the limbs slick, he ran to the guard talan to village. While jumping the railing he drew his bow and had an arrow knocked. When he spotted an orc, coming up behind an ally he aimed, and fired. Before the arrow struck the orc, in the forehead, he had already knocked, aimed, and fired again at the next available orc. Legolas only paused in his steady rhythm of knock, aim, and fire, when Lysander and Alione took position next to him in the Talan.
"Cheerful day, do you not agree?" Lysander joked as his arrow plunged into an orc's shoulder
blade. Legolas chose to respond by taking an arrow from the full quiver in front of Lysander, and continued his rhythm.
"Do you think this will end before dawn tomorrow? For dusk is falling." Alione asked, as he grabbed a full quiver from the elfling behind them. Alione returned to the fight, while the child grabbed another quiver and held it out, looking for the warrior who was to soon need a replacement.Legolas grabbed the next quiver for the elfling, and did not respond. Lysander did.
" Hopefully, however if it takes you over five minutes to empty a quiver I do not know if we will end this decade."
" Well, if you did not lead that group of a hundred or so orcs to the south end Lysander, we would not have had to spend time in that clearing losing time and fellow warriors.
"Focus." Legolas said firmly, ending all disagreements between them. For a few minutes no one spoke and only the rain, and the sound of a dying orc was heard. The elfling behind them was replaced and with him carried a new bag full of quivers. As night fell they spent their time, as they had most of the day, driving back them enemy.
"Master elves, the healers request your attendance so they can bandage your wounds, and you may rest." The child whispered quietly.
" Is the rest of our party coming to replace us?" Alione asked while he tossed his empty quiver aside, and grabbed the full one from the boy.
" Now, we decided we would sit here and play cards." Mifel shared with them gleefully as the rest of their friends and hunting partners climbed the steps to the talan. A tall dark haired elf laughed behind him as he drew his bow and grabbed a quiver.
" So has it been slow, or would you like to stay and braid my hair?" Mifel asked, trying to lighten up the mood.
"It has been constant but nothing you four should not be able to handle." Legolas informed them, nodding to Mifel as he joined Legolas on his left.
" I am going to stay here and protect this village. It is my duty, besides Legolas should have his arm checked out by the healers. I will stay in his place." Alione replied smugly as he grabbed a glass of wine, and drank quickly then resumed his position. Mifel groaned slightly, realizing they were now stuck with the arrogant elf til dawn. The remaining elves all nodded to each other, and Legolas followed Lysander out of the talan to the healers quarters, with the child trailing behind them.
"Would the Valar punish me if I wished ill on a fellow elf?" Lysander asked to the group, while they parted ways with the child, who ran by to find a hot bowl of soup.
"I believe this time, they would agree with you. Or at the very least allow this to be a one time thing." Delian concurred as he walked to the available she-elf, who was helping the healers. She motioned for them to sit on the clean cots, and remove their clothing except for their pants, for the healers will be their shortly. She turned her back and to grabbed a basket full of soiled bandages.
Legolas removed his shirt, wincing as his sleeve touched his wounded arm. He glanced down at the wound on his bicep. He noticed it started to heal and still oozed blood. It was from a orc scimitar. He was caught un aware from behind, and managed to duck and impaled the orc, before receiving anymore damage. The color was not unusual which indicated that the blade was not poisoned. With a cloth, a bandage, and a bowl of soup he would soon return to his post. When the orcs were all killed and then cleaned up, he would be able to see her. She would open those gold eyes and look at him, and all would be well. He had found her, and now intended to not leave her side. During the battle, her face crept into his mind. Every orc, he killed he killed for her. For her safety, and the revenge of her fallen friends. Her faced was still bruised when he left, and she was as beautiful as any she-elf. Now she would have recovered, and she would have color to her cheeks and her faced would unblemished. Her beauty would challenge Varda herself, he knew.
" Master elf, I am sure your Lady is fine." a small voice brought him back to reality. A small blond healer was in front of him, holding onto a cloth. Lysander snickered, and Mifel and Delian just, grinned remembering their ladies at home. Legolas looked at her in question.
" Sir, she must be very special, and you must have just found her, for she is constantly on your mind. I can see it in your eyes, it is in your face. She is not here." She stated as she wrung the cloth in the steaming water. His friends leaned in, waiting. As a prince Legolas is always regal, and court like. His positions and the decision he makes cause him to be well mannered and reserved. Here was a window into Legolas as an Elf not as a prince.
"No." he again thought of her bruised face, as she slept in the bed, recovering.
"Well, then she is safe. You have just a wound, it is not poisoned.. After it is cleaned and stitched you will be fine. See there is no problem, both of you will see one another soon." Legolas smile softly as he thought of her again, ignoring the pain as the hot cloth cleaned his wound. He did not flinch as she stitched him up. He only thought of joining the conversation when he was passed a bowl of steaming soup and fresh bread.
"Well that must be a name between friends. I doubt her name is Kat." Lysander explained to the others, they nodded in agreement and looked at Legolas expectantly. He then realized they were discussing her.
" I only heard the name once, but the fragile lady, Laverne, I believe called her Katanya." Legolas answered.
"Hidden strength. That fits her well. She did stand up to the orcs to protect her friends." Delian nodded in approval. Mifel opened his mouth yet was cut off.
"No, that was foolishness, not hidden strength." Alione entered the talan and the conversation without welcome. He smiled knowing he was getting to the prince. He grabbed his soup and left. The conversation varied about unimportant matters, for all were waiting to be called back to the talan. Legolas did not partake in their converstations, for he only thought of his future with Katanya, and soon fell asleep on his cot, listening to his friends soft voices as they started to play chess.
